As per you, what is one thing a community leader needs to be mindful of?
A community leader needs to be mindful of a few things - the challenges associated with text-based communications; that there are people here from around the world, and that can affect how people react to issues, or how they communicate; that everyone is human, and each experience is valid; that we need to set a good example for everyone that we support and connect with; that we need to be empathetic, patient, and caring.
This is a great group of leaders!
@ASilentObserver Thankyou so much for this post, this biggest well done to all the dedication from leaders, supporters and everyone part of the team 🎉 you all deserved recognition and praise for what you do 💙
As per you, what is one thing a community leader needs to be mindful of? Being inclusive and welcoming to all, it can be the best thing coming into a community buut the most heartbreaking feeling alone, you definitely need to be mindful and attentive to everyone especially new people as communities can make such a positive impact, feeling like you just *belong* can change so much, i try to carry that thought with me a lot
Awwww thank you 🙈🙈🙈
To all the mods for what they do 💙❤️🧡💜
Thank you so much! Keep going, leaders!

I keep in mind, after I took the Leadership Development Course, to have high expectations and also high warmth. This sticks with me especially in the chatroom. There are higher expectations of those in leadership roles (this includes listeners) to set an example to others This also reminds reminds me that we can encourage members (everyone) to follow guidelines and to be respectful in a kind and warm way. Being to rigid and to obrupt at first can not only shut down the person talking, but also those in room. Keeping in mind communication can come across differently without hearing tone of voice or seeing body language. Also, remember we all of bad days and make mistakes, so keeping grace for everyone.
There is a nice balance and it is okay to make mistakes and be open to feedback. We all have room for growth.
Thanks :D
I think it's important to be respectful and kind to everyone
